All you need to know:

Verdict
In our comparisons, like in baseball, we always pick a winner. Fortunately, the match didn't go into extra innings, as the BMW X6 M Competition clearly took the W. With its punchy powertrain, athletic handling, and right balance, the X6 felt at home on twisty roads. On the highway and in normal driving, it mixed a go-fast feel with a touch of comfort.

Although the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is also remarkable, some of us felt it was missing the hype. On a post-comparison drive in a healthy unit, Evans said the high-performance Mercedes felt like its younger sibling, the AMG GT four-door. Still, he said that although the GLE is incredibly competent, "the X6 M is just a lot more fun."

BMW take the prize in this match with the performance and handling of the X6 M Competition. But if the rear just looked a little better …

All of those squashed turtle looking (X4, X6, etc.) things are hideous looking. That's why they don't sell in the US.

They do sell though, otherwise we wouldn't be on the third generation, with two different models (and a possible upcoming third "X8"), and every other luxury brand introducing a new SUV "coupe" every year. They aren't pretty (at least to me), but clearly there is a market for them, and they likely make a good profit since the development/build costs are similar but the MSRP is much higher than its "square-body" counterpart.

The X6 tested is a lovely colour
Actually the colour looks even better in dull light so it’s just perfect for the U.K.

I saw the X6 live and it's is a hideous looking vehicle. Front is aggressive and nice but The back is Pontiac Aztec bad. Had 1st gen which I think looked great and second gen which looked a bit worse and now third gen is atrocious, all attributed to the back end execution

In pics I didn't like the new body GLE coupe but saw one yesterday live and it looks great and the Cayenne Coupe looks phenomenal as well and like the Q8

Seems BMW lost their way a bit with this one in the looks department.
